Bill Keep McKelvin: 4 years, 20 Million

[Teagz]

The Bills have made a significant signing, keeping cornerback/return man Leodis McKelvin with a four-year, $20 million deal, according to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com.​

His return skills aren’t in doubt, but he’s still developing as a defensive player.​

But with that kind of money, they’ll probably want to see more from him there to justify a sizable investment.​

McKelvin was No. 78 in PFT’s Free Agent Top 100, as we chip away at that list in advance of the opening of the full market Tuesday.​

He stepped up quite a bit last season in his coverage skills. Obviously, he's still got a lot to prove with this type of contract and being such a high pick a few years ago, Bills fans expected much more out of him. I like the re-signing though. I think he can become a solid DB with the right coaching.

WHOAAA that's a lot of money

He's arguably the most explosive returner in the league too, imo.

Somewhat unrelated, but I'm curious; how did Gilmore look last season?

he was solid for a rook. still has a long way to go, but even though this isn't saying much, i think he has the most potential out of the past few DB's we picked in the first round (Whitner, McKelvin) haha.
